I think that you should check the local tech college's in your area to see if they offer a night class for home auto body. I think the one around here does. that is just to much to learn on the internet you need some hands on with a pro . I will answer ? # 1 SATA RP 3000 .But it's really what you are comfortable with & what gun you have. If youlay down $500.00 - $700.00 you WILL learn how to shoot with that gun & think it is the best.
